[Video] Canon updated with Iron Man 2 spoilers in the comments. Probably.

[Ye old Anthony Edward Stark is pictured here looking tired but altogether not too bad. His hair is a little longer with some highlighting; not too much, of course. As per usual, he's dressed to the nines in a suit.It wouldn't be too much to ask how long I've been gone. JARVIS wasn't able to keep tabs on the bulk of what happened during my absence

[video] /puts a hairline fracture in my hiatus for you

[gammapulsed]

[Look who else wakes up from their hiatus vacations/coma to hear the dulcet tones of Tony Stark. And Bruce looks so thrilled about it too.

He rolls his eyes and turns on the comm, but stops before he says anything. A beat later:]

...What happened to your hair?

[video] /pries the crack open with fingernails. nnnnng.

[the_ironman]

[He blinks.]

Uh.

What?

[video] greedy greedy <3

[gammapulsed]

It's all- What with the. [SIGH and he rubs the heel of his hand against his forehead..] Okay, wanna know what, never mind. Not important, even if you look like. I don't know, Gabriel kind of covered the whole. Boy band angle. Anyway.

[PRIVATE]
The palladium poisoning that you kept not wanting to talk about before leaving. Explain. Now. ...Please.

[video] <3 all for me.

[the_ironman]

What I'm feeling right now is a mixture of creeped out and endeared. The fact that you missed me enough to rummage over every changed detail on my person is a sweet gesture Bruce, really, but it smells like desperation. Work on that.

Also, no.

[DING! There's a completely impatient smile.]

[video] sharing is caring, y'know

[gammapulsed]

What are you ev- [He missed this. Really he did. ...Deep, deep down he did. ...Maybe.] It's not rummaging, it's plain as anything! It's not any kind of accomplishment to pay attention to the obvious, Mr. Stark.

[You want to play it that way? Fine. Then Bruce will just talk about this in the open where EVERYONE CAN HEAR.] Well, assuming you're telling the truth about it being eight months since, and you're not. You know. Dead? I'm assuming something kinda monumental happened.

I created a new element. No big deal. It's not about me and my myriad of impressive accomplishments, it's about the future.

[gammapulsed]

...Bull.
